Prologue
She stared thru the bars at her husband's killer, feeling nothing but hatred. "Let's see how you like it, lady. I spent twenty years looking through bars just like these, only I had sea air to breathe! A little dry heat for the next four months will do wonders for you, if you survive with no food or water!"
"You animal, I'll kill you before I die, I swear it!" she rasped through a raw throat. Coming closer to the rusting cell door, the skinny ex-con laughed, "You'll never get the chance!"
"No?" she whispered, then stuck her bound hands through the bars and grabbed his throat, yanking him against the metal.
"Stop, you're choking me, you'll never get out of here if you don't let go!" he rasped, struggling to free himself. Using whatever strength she had left, she tightened her grip. "Unlock this door or I'll finish you off!" she ordered, feeling her hands starting to weaken.
"Key in my pocket, you can have it." he panted. Taking no chances, she waited until he dropped the key on the floor, then knocked him against the metal plate. Watching him drop to the floor, unconscious, she picked up the key, then unlocked the door.
Bending over, she dragged him in, then started to leave, only to hear laughter come from behind her, and a hand grab her ankle.
Desperate, she kicked backwards, then turned to see her attacker pull a gun and fire from the floor.
Diving to the side, she felt a sharp pain in her arm, then came up and knocked the gun from his hand. Before he could rise, she hit him again, then ran out of the cell and down the stone hall.
Panting, she closed the wooden door behind her, then leaned against it, spent.
"Please, Steve, somebody, Grandmother, help me!" Laurie Simon called out mentally, knowing she couldn't hold up much longer.
If only Rick were still alive...
